The injured victim, who is under treatment in a hospital, claimed that she had to bear this torture despite paying off the borrowed money with interest.
“My husband had borrowed Rs. 1,500 from Pramod Singh a few months ago and had returned the money with interest. However, he continued to seek more money. We rejected the demand, the woman said.
The incident occurred in a village under the jurisdiction of Khusrupur Police Station in Patna on September 23 night. Pramod Singh allegedly threatened the victim over the phone, saying that they would parade her naked in the village if she didn’t give him more money. She complained to the police about this on her mobile phone. (Hydnow)
